I'll deal on original offer if you like, Morris would need something coming back my way mate (Haywood/Mako/Thomas)

poux and ???
for
stevens, messam and geraghty

funny how me and pete were both after him after he re-signs for irish!

well im after stevens and messam, and poux is available.

Webber & Harrison?

i could chuck in stowers?

What for Geraghty then?

geraghty available now then?

stevens, messam and geraghty
for
poux and ???

What for him then?

Maddock, Ross, hala'ufia, not sure who else yet

Who do you want for Stevens ?

also letting go of tui'polotu and kefu.

what would u want for shane?

no mate as already have Mac and SBW at 12 so no need for a third!
anything else?

sorry mate need to keep fourie, am a bit short on english

What for Geraghty and Whitehead mate?

I'd be interested in taking WHitehead of your hands as well Chris. What you looking for?

Think I prefer both my players mate. Could lose franks if I was gaining in another position.

Mainly looking at backrow and centre.

Don't really see any of them improving on what I have already mate.

Havent really decided who im getting rid of yet mate so no list at the moment but willing to listen to any offers at this stage if it strengthens me some where. Who you looking at?

Webber/Whitehead?

Alright Chris, I'm interested in Webber, Stevens and Attwood. Pretty much all my squad are available apart from Brown and Bowden.

Tincu is a fantastic hooker, beast of a scrummager. Sadly he is retiring at the end of the season so wouldn't be involved in any deal.

Sorry mate, not keen on Stevens to be honest as nobody seems to rate him in this game.

Just been having a look at my squad for the new season as well. Have a list of foreign transfer targets with 24 players on it!!! Need to decide where the priorities for improvement are.

Tait for Geraghty?

yeh just gives me another option at 10.
like for like replacement for Bowden really who I played more at 10, but swapped for McAllister who will play more at 12.

I like Tait just needs to play more!

Possibly although I think during AI's he will be key

Pm you

DOC + Botes 4 Messam

Haywood/Webber/Hartley/Clark/Attwood/Davies/Lydiate/Simpson/Fofana/Halfpenny/Launchbury/Daly/Wade interest me

Whitelock seems to make a big difference in my pack so don't think that's worth it for me

what for beauxis?

What you after for 1/2p?

What would you want for Savea?

No I didn't mate, hopefully he'll get some game time there.

I haven't got enough EQ players to do that

Stevens + Lapandry + £5m 4 DOC + Botes

What for Stevens?

What for Chris Whitehead mate?

Cheers for the heads up mate

Would you do Kayser for Webber?

Creevy for Webber mate?

Lund + Crane + Poitreanud
for
Launchbury + JdV

What if Launchury was Atwood?

I'll include POC in a deal for Attwood, Lawes/POC would give you amazing engine room and proper line out lock which you don't have (prob worlds best)

??

Interested in Jackson Wray mate, but not looking to pay OTT for him.

stevens?

Also what for Henry Thomas?

No mate, want to see how Spurling goes for a bit. Academy players that are available are

HK Harry Allen (19/12/1991) - has played first team for Saracens this season
HK Rupert Freestone (23/04/1991)
SH Luke Baldwin (15/09/1990)
FH Jake Sharp (07/05/1991)
WG Marcus Watson (27/06/1991)
FL Matt Hankin (03/04/1993)

Could also do cash, but not a lot for him.
